I'd like to meet you the way our lips have.
I'd like to speak to you
because your body is a language I want to be fluent in.
our lips parted and you left me in addiction.
I've been ordering skin and tonic every night,
I kiss people so hard hoping to forget whose air I'm breathing
because I just might not recall that you are all i want to inhale.
I don't think you understand
I would reinvent the world for you.
Just so we could live in places
where our hands would fit into spaces
like puzzle pieces, and magazine faces.
But I cant, my sand castles dry out and
blow into the wind disappearing among stardust.
I can not stop the red sea from parting,
just like I can not stop our lips from parting
and unfortunately I can not stop your soul from departing.

This is a short poem on wishing you could fit in someones life so badly.
